Club career
[edit]Born in Ponta do Sol, Madeira of Turkish descent through his father,[2] Coelho joined C.D. Nacional's youth system at the age of 16.[3] He made his Primeira Liga debut with the club on 11 May 2014 – the last matchday of the season – in a 1–0 away loss against Gil Vicente F.C. where he played the full 90 minutes.[4]
Coelho then spent three years on loan in the LigaPro, with S.C. Covilhã,[5] G.D. Chaves and Académica de Coimbra.[6] Returned to the Estádio da Madeira for the 2017–18 campaign, he scored twice[7][8] in 36 matches to help the team return to the top division as champions.[3]
Coelho scored his only goal in the Portuguese top flight on 5 May 2019, helping to a 2–2 draw at Vitória S.C. after his side had trailed 2–0 with ten minutes left.[9] After only two competitive appearances in 2019–20, however, he was released as his contract was about to expire.[3]
On 23 June 2020, Coelho signed with U.D. Vilafranquense of division two.[10] He moved abroad for the first time in his career one year later, joining Kocaelispor who had been recently promoted to the Turkish TFF First League.[11]
